Description

New Orleans, 38 months after. Barack Obama has just been elected to the White House, giving entrenched residents of this still-battered city reason for optimism. Yet for everyone who hopes to improve their lot--or just return to a sense of pre-Katrina normalcy--others are intent on capitalizing on the city's vulnerability and suffocating its culture. HBO presents the final five episodes, including the 76-minute series finale, of this acclaimed drama series that follows the musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians, and other familiar New Orleanians who continue to rebuild their lives and culture in the aftermath of the devastating 2005 hurricane. Throughout the final five shows, which take place between November 2008 and Mardi Gras 2009, the promise of recovery is tempered by sobering economics, continued police corruption, and the ongoing specter of violence and crime.

Season Four Premiere. New Orleans celebrates the election of Barack Obama; Desautel opens her own Bywater restaurant; LaDonna rebuilds Gigi's bar; school band director Batiste gets invested in his students' lives.

Customer Reviews

great characters

This show has a great set of real characters set within a great city. A big plus is all the excellent jazz music in every episode, from Bayou, to modern jazz to Jon Batiste, it is all great stuff!

The final episodes are a real treat for the viewer. I am so glad HBO decided to give this show a chance and give it the storyline it deserved. The series finale was flawless. I will miss this show a lot!
